Virtual Integrated soLutions for future Demonstrators and products

Research Project, 2024 – 2028

Geometries and aerodynamic models will be produced for the low pressure turbine, nacelle, fan blades, low pressure compressor and duct between compressors in a turbofan engine. Method development will be done with respect to noise analysis of a modern turbofan engine. Furthermore, methods will be developed for composite design of fan blades and nacelle. The project aims to maintain and further develop collaboration and knowledge sharing between industry and universities within the aerospace sector in Sweden.

The project is expected to increase the maturity level of a number of components in the turbofan engine developed in the turbomachinery cluster: the fan blades, nacelle, low pressure compressor, ducts and low pressure turbine. Geometries and boundary conditions for these components can be used to provide relevant context for other research projects. The aeroacoustic methods developed in the project can be used to design low noise aircraft engines in the future.
